There will be talks about Bazel, Buck2, a buzzing hallway track on Dune, and more. Sign-ups are still open, so if you're excited about build systems, you should sign up!

I've played around with a bunch of the coding assistants out there, including Cursor, Aider, and Claude Code.
What I haven't really seen is anything good for handling large code bases, and doing sensible context construction within them.

I'm curious if anyone knows a good solution for managing vector-databases for code when working with a large repo. Logically, you want a (slightly) different vector DB for each revision, but that's insane.
